Analysis of opening scene

There is no visual in the beginning, only audio which seems to be of a news report. the first lines are "The world was stunned..." - it also then continues with more new reports, such as the "Siege of Seattle" it then cuts from black to a picture of poeple in a cafe looking up at a tv screen thats hosting the news. The people in the scene are dressed in plain clothes, most are grey blueish clothing, this denotes as them being either depressed and not really interested in their clothing, or a sign of a siege and a dress code. Many of them show signs of distress on upon hearing the news that is on T.V of which they are all looking up to. The camera are looking down onto them - showing their vulnerability and also making the camera in the spot were the "T.V" is. There isn't much movement as they are all engrossed into what is on T.V but then a man pushes his was in and asks for a coffee, his expression and his rebel like behaviour in comparison to others around him shows his lack of concern with the news which seem to a ground-break and extremely effective to the others' lives, and this also shows that he may be or one of the main characters. The camera then cuts to another T.V opposite and continues with the news thats being broadcasted which gives hints of the date, which is 2027- which shows its a futuristic film, the sound is diegetic as the music is from the T.V which is being played, also sounds someone softly crying is in the background. The camera the cuts to the back of the "coffee guy" who walks out of the shop, a bus drives past and displayed on the side of it is an advertisement for offers on kidney donors at £3000, this shows that times have become desperate. The camera pans along behind the coffee guy and continues to pan across rather than cut from scene to scene. This shows the audience the surrounding area, and then also some non diegetic text is given on the left-hand corner of the scene, "London, 16 November 2027", this establishes that it is set in the future in case the audience had missed the small hint on the T.V earlier. The surrounding scene in which the camera takes time to show; continuing to pan across the scene rather than to cut, is a dirt-ridden london with many cars and scooter-drawn taxis whose drivers had taken on face masks to protect their lungs from the dirt and pollution. Though it is set in the future, with its moving advertisements on busses and buildings, it shows that the area and people have remained stuck in an earlier time. The sounds within this are all non-diegetic- from the streets and passing traffic. Continuing with a medium long shot, the camera follows the coffee guy along the street behind him, as it is following him this early on in the film it shows again that he may be a significant character and that the audience will be following his story. the coffee guy then walks past some rubbish piles- again showing the dirt in the area. He then set his coffee down on a metal box type on the side of the road. The camera is displaying the scene in a long-shot, so to be able to show the body language of the coffee guy- who at this time takes out a bottle of liqueur and pours in into his coffee, this shows hes most likely a drink and an alcoholic as he's drinking in the morning- (black coffee and news on the tv suggest it is the morning) the camera pans around him continuing with the same shot,and shows him filling his coffee with alcohol, then an explosion happens and he jumps and his coffee drops, the coffe guy falls back and stays there but the camera goes towards the explosion site, not with the "gliding panning motion" it did before, but more of a wobbling, running type, as if it was trying to resemble a mobile recording of an incident. the sound at this scene is diegetic, the high pitched ringing noise is what most get when really close to an explosion and this has an effect on the audience who thinks they're there.
